Foster isn’t sure who may run for the new leader, but he’s ruling himself out.

“I’m not interested,” says Foster.

As for who could run, Foster says this: “I don’t know. There is a whole lot of capable people in the room, and a lot of capable people outside the room. I think we’ll be hearing from people over the next month who’s really interested.

Clark was BC premier and Liberal leader from 2011 to 2017.

She will also be resigning her MLA seat in Kelowna West.

The MLA for Shuswap says he was disappointed — but not overly surprised that Christy Clark is stepping down as Liberal leader.

Greg Kyllo says Clark is a single mom with a growing son, who has given everything she has to the position.

“The job of being premier and leader of a party is a significant amount of work, you know 70 to 80 hours a week. She certainly has reason to hold her head high and be extremely proud of what she’s done for British Columbia,” Kyllo tells Kiss FM.

Kyllo, who is just starting his second term in Victoria, says he hasn’t heard of any possible candidates yet, but he says he won’t be running for it.

“There is certainly some great talent within our existing caucus, and I’m sure we’ll see some amazing candidates put their names forward in the months ahead,” adds Kyllo.
